T20WORLD CUP FINALE LIVE UPDATES: INDIA VS SA
June 29: 11:35 – India beats South Africa by 7 runs in Men’s T-20 World Cup
Suryakumar Yadav produced a superb grab to end the over and get rid of David Miller. After it was all over, Hardik had to maintain his composure, which is precisely what he did to help India cross the finish line. Things seemed to be going out of control when South Africa needed 30 from 30, but Bumrah, Arshdeep, and Hardik performed brilliantly in the end. The trophy’s arrival after 11 years was an emotional event for the Indian athletes.
June 29, 11:25 – South Africa 167/7 after 19.1 overs (Target – 177)
Hardik Pandya takes out Miller.
June 29, 11:04 – South Africa 157/6 after 18.1 overs (Target – 177)
Now that his time is ended, Bumrah took out Marco Jansen in that particular over. The fact that Miller is still in the center is a plus for India, but they also need to be cautious since this is becoming an extremely dangerous game.
June 29, 10:45 – South Africa 107/4 after 12.3 overs (Target – 177)
Quinton de Kock catch out at 107 runs by Kuldeep Yadav, baller – Arshdeep. David Miller comes to play now.

South Africa is playing neck to neck in parallel to India’s batting turn, though at this time India has lost a wicket more.
June 29, 10:15 – South Africa 35/2 after 5.2 overs (Target – 177)
Axar patel has come now, and he has squeezed the South African batsmen to 10 runs.
June 29, 10:11PM- South Africa 18/2 after 3.1 overs (Target-177)
In an attempt to cover the first drive, Aiden Markram gave keeper Rishabh Pant the advantage. Arshdeep takes that wicket to give India their second wicket of the powerplay. Already, this is a great beginning for India. Tristian Stubbs has moved into the center; he and De Kock must now form an alliance.
June 29, 10:03PM-South Africa is on 12 with 2 Wickets. Arshdeep takes second for India. His first in the finale.
